What is Status ?

Status is a free (libre) and open source mobile client targeting Android & iOS built, entirely on Ethereum technologies.Thanks to the new protocols Ethereum has introduced, there's a whole new ecosystem of applications being developed that are completely decentralised (also known as DApps), and Status aims to provide a user interface to access them. These decentralized applications remove the need for middlemen and centralised servers, providing a clear path forward towards an internet where users get to own their own data, and an economy built on permissionless, open protocols.It is Status belief that messengers are evolving into a new type of OS, and are becoming gateways to our economies and social lives. Status uses messaging as a platform, and by combining both a messenger and a browser Status building a gateway for everyday smartphone users to begin using DApps, and a simple way for DApp developers to reach new users.
